IMPROVEMENT IN BUTTERWORKERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 139,723, dated June 10, 1873 application filed.

March 1l, 1873. A

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES MGBEIDE, of Ithaca, Tompkins county, New York, have invented an Improved Butter-Worker, of which the following is a specification:

VMy invention relates to that class of butterworkers which, by a lever, make pressure on the butter; and the nature of my invention will be appaient as I describe it.

Figure lis a side elevation of my device;

`1lig.2,a sectional view of the slope and tabletop; and Fig. 3 an end view of my doubleheaded presser.

In Fig. 1, a is the double-headed presser, with the side aperture s in its lower half or head, either end or head of which can be turned downward by changing the lever b, upon which it is, in 'its socket in the shaft c, which shaft is held by the standard d, and which shaft has on one end of it the arm f, which at its lower end is pivoteol to the connecting-rod g, and which rod is pivoted to the lever lt. and which lever is pivoted to the clutch t', and which clutch plays in the teeth of the circular ratchet j, and is fast to the bottom 7c of the circular pan p. This bottom has two buttermilk-ducts,r, one of which is seen in the figure, and which emptins` at proper times into the spout n, which is fast to the table e. Beneath the pan-bottom is the inclined piece or part o, sloping toward the spoilt n, and this incline or slope rests on the table. The pan is circular and beveled outward, and has two gates, m, one of which is seen.

The butter is placed in the pan, and `the upper part of the presser a is first used,

and by it the butter is partially worked, when the lower part o f the presser a, having the longitudinal aperture s and the tra-nsverse one s in it, is used. The division is seen in Fig. 3. It will be noticed that when the lever b is raised moderately, the arm, connectingrod, lever h, and clutch rotate the pan, thus bringing a new portion of butter under the presser, and that this goes on as often as the lever is lifted.. `Tl1e pan p has a pin or journal that lits the socket u, Eig. 2, in the incline or slope o on which it rota-tes.

Further description is unnecessary, as the uses and advantages of my invention are apparent to those skilled in the art to which it appertains.

lala-iin- 1. The double-headed presser a, with divis` i ions s, in combination with the lever p socketed in and oscillating the shaft o, substantially as set forth.

2. The double-headed presser a, with one head, a', solid, and the other head, a, with a longitudinal division, s,and two transverse apertures, s', one through each division of the head a", as set forth.

3. The lever b, shaft c, arm f, rod g, lever h, and click fi, in combination with the pan 1J, pivoted and 'attached to the slope o, and secured to the bed-piece or table e, substantially Witnesses:
